Project Title: Journey Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
At Chicago Voyagers (CV), our mission is to empower youth through adventure therapy programs that foster healthy relationships and skills for life success. Within a unique program model rooted in therapy and behavioral health best-practices, CV weaves physical and emotional challenges together with the healing power of the natural world. Our programming inspires personal growth, teamwork, and healthy lifestyles while increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in outdoor adventure therapy. Many of our youth participants are trauma-survivors and the majority are Latinx (53%) and African American (23%) and from low-income backgrounds (91%). Our unique, trauma-informed approach provides youth the support and guidance needed to cultivate critical life skills such as self-empowerment, problem solving, and belief in their ability to achieve and overcome challenges. CV provides programming year-round at no cost to our participants.<\/p>\n
Our Journey Program provides long-term support and leads to deep, meaningful impacts and outcomes for our participants\u2019 social-emotional development. Each of our Journey Programs are designed to provide youth the consistency and stability necessary for personal growth and improvement. Journeys engage the same group of students for six months or more for outdoor adventure therapy activities in which they work together, build healthy relationships, and help each other reach their potential. Staff support and guide groups of nine students or less with a 2:1 youth-to-adult ratio. Our staff mentor each student individually, helping them set goals and achieve success. Each Journey has a theme, such as motivation, decision making, or leadership, which is matched to group needs. Staff incorporate the theme into activities, journal questions and group reflections. Our Journey Program addresses the immediate need of our youth while providing them with long-term support and empowerment. <\/p>\n
